Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: An Environmental Challenge

Abstract Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances are a group of synthetic aliphatic compounds containing one or more perfluoroalkyl moieties (CnF2n + 1-). Due to their unique surface-active properties and high chemical and thermal stability, they are used in various consumer products such as cosmetics, food packaging, furnishings, and textiles ...

Effects of Per- and Polyfluoroalkylated Substances on Female Reproduction

Toxics
Per- and poly-fluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are a large group of chemicals that persist both in the environment and in the body. Legacy PFAS, e.g., perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, are implicated as endocrine disruptors and reproductive and developmental toxicants in epidemiological and animal model studies.

Review of recent advances in the design, synthesis, and modification of biochar for remediation of heavy metal pollution in water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1769-1795, April 2026.
Research frontiers in using biochar for heavy metal remediation. Abstract Heavy metal contamination of water has long been a serious environmental issue. Biochar and biochar‐based composites are emerging as effective and sustainable solutions for heavy metal removal due to their strong adsorption abilities and environmentally friendly nature.

Optimization of Microfibrillated and Nanofibrillated Cellulose Coating to Improve Performance of Paperboard Intended for Food Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 351-366, April 2026.
This study aims to optimise the application methods of a biobased suspension of micro/nano cellulose fibrils from agro‐biomass subjected to high‐pressure homogenisation. Two methods were selected, bar coating (BC) and spray coating (SC), and were tested using an LF factorial design with 3 levels and 2 factors.

Electrothermal mineralization of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances for soil remediation

Nature Communications
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and bioaccumulative pollutants that can easily accumulate in soil, posing a threat to environment and human health. Current PFAS degradation processes often suffer from low efficiency, high energy

Human Intestinal Microbiota Composition Shapes Model Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Biotransformation

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
Differences in the human gut microbiome impact the rate and pathway of biotransformation for 6:2 polyfluoroalkyl phosphate diester (diPAP), a model polyfluoroalkyl substance. Metabolic analysis is coupled to 16S RNA analysis to identify correlations between microbial taxa abundance and PAP transformation products not previously established from ...
